Biography
Tamim was a family member of the Cordoba Caliphate, and was a general of the Moors. Tamim was a man who would wet himself at the notion of command, with no chivalry, but good loyalty and piety. Tamim fought against the Kingdom of Castile during the Reconquista, and although he was a poor general who became known as "The Mad", he was still a threat to the Castilians.

Death
Tamim the Mad was tracked down by a Castilian assassin in 1180, and was caught while he was sleeping. The assassin, carrying a poisonous snake, slipped it under Tamim's sheets and watched as it bit him. Tamim died of the snakebite, resulting in his death.
